I've used the CAX80 and it does work great.
I can hit around 400-500mbps over the 5g, and roughly 70-110mpbs over the 2.4ghz depending on time of day.
What speeds do you get hardwired into it?
Since install, did you ever try a factory reset and install?

I get almost 950mbps down on wired. Already factory reset, not sure what you mean by install?

What wifi devices are you using to speed test?
What wireless settings are you using on the CAXIs Armor active on the CAX?

I'm using an iphone X and a 2018 ipad pro to test wifi speeds. As I did the hard reset the only different setting is the channel, and I have tried all of them with barely any difference.

Load up wifi sweetspots on your phone and pad and check the connection rate speeds seen with these connected with the CAX80.
